Texas GOP calls former Governor George W. Bush a "liberal socialist"

[PoliticalTorch]

To say that the Texas Republican Party platform is wacko is a foregone conclusion. They have really gone out of their way this time around to prove it, haven't they! What is plain to see is the extreme insensitivity this political party has toward others. And to think they tout being so closely aligned with Christian principles and values -- truly sad! Not even close with their current platform. Just look at what they are offering. Just take a good hard look! It is not only pathetic but outrageous! They not only target the poor, children, minorities, but also senior citizens by proposing to remove Social Security as they know it! Now, that's very dangerous to many and no doubt there are going to be many white-haired Texas citizens and others on Social Security who will be looking at that alone and seriously rethinking what party to support as they enter the voting booth. The Texas GOP is now setting a tight noose around their political neck but not totally unexpected as they continue to prove time and time again that they care nothing about anyone who is not wealthy and of means. In fact, it's so bad even their leaders are trying to distance themselves from this despicable platform! But facts are facts as these two reports have brought out. Time for the Middle Class, the poor, and minorities to Move Out from the Republican base!

Texas Democrats: Republican policy platform is 'disgusting'

16 Wacky Ideas In The Texas Republican Party's New Platform

This is the time of the year I look forward to. This is when Republicans in Texas release the always hilarious "Texas State Republican Party Platform". It never disappoints and this year is certainly no exception.

The Texas Republican Party Platform - pdf

I can't even say "where to begin". It's a treasure trove of ignorance and hate. In fact, even the Republican Party is Texas said it doesn't necessarily represent us.
Well, I have to tell them, yes, it does.

And every time I bring up GOP beliefs, USMB Republicans calls me a liar. And I tell them what I always tell them, "I couldn't lie about this stuff. It would never occur to me." Besides with the rich amount of material Republicans provide, why would I need to make up anything? They make it up for me.

i bet the GOP in my State doesnt have the same "beliefs" as the Texas one....

PREAMBLE
We STILL hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Throughout the world, people dare to dream of freedom and opportunity. The Republican Party of Texas unequivocally defends that dream. We strive to preserve the freedom given to us by God, implemented by our Founding Fathers, and embodied in the Constitution. We recognize that the traditional family is the strength of our nation. It is our solemn duty to protect life and develop responsible citizens. We understand that our economic success depends upon free market principles. If we fail to maintain our sovereignty, we risk losing the freedom to live these ideals.

PRINCIPLES
We, the 2014 Republican Party of Texas, believe in this platform and expect our elected leaders to uphold these truths through acknowledgement and action. We believe in:
1. Strict adherence to the original intent of the Declaration of Independence and United States and Texas Constitutions.
2. The sanctity of human life, created in the image of God, which should be protected from
fertilization to natural death.
3. Preserving American and Texas sovereignty and freedom.
4. Limiting government power to those items enumerated in the United States and Texas Constitutions.
5. Personal accountability and responsibility.
6. Self-sufficient families, founded on the traditional marriage of a natural man and a natural woman.
7. Having an educated population, with parents having the freedom of choice for the education of their children.
8. Americans having the right to be safe in their homes, on their streets, and in their communities; and the unalienable right to defend themselves.
9. A free enterprise society unencumbered by government interference or subsidies.
10. Honoring all of those that serve and protect our freedom.
11. And we believe in “The laws of nature and nature’s God” as our Founding Fathers believed.

WTF?????????????

Did you get bored?

Check this out:

The Republican Party of Texas supports the historic concept, established by our nation’s founders, of limited civil government jurisdiction under the natural laws of God

You know what that reminds me of? The Constitution of Iraq Republicans helped draft:

Article 2:

First: Islam is the official religion of the State and it is a fundamental source of legislation:

A. No law that contradicts the established provisions of Islam may be established.

So basically you saw the word "god" and shit your pants. Did your priest piss on your frosted flakes or something?

From that link:

4) Americans Should Not Be Allowed To Choose Their Own Senators
The Seventeenth Amendment abolished an older practice that empowered state lawmakers to choose their state’s senators, in no small part because the old system “led to rampant and blatant corruption, letting corporations and other moneyed interests effectively buy U.S. Senators, and tied state legislatures up in numerous, lengthy deadlocks over whom to send to Washington.” The Texas GOP platform, however, wants to return to the day when the American people could not vote on their own senators. “Full Repeal of the 17th Amendment of the United States Constitution” is one of the platform’s demands.

Things are much better today, now that we have the 17th Amendment. There is no "rampant and blatant corruption, letting corporations and other moneyed interests effectively buy U.S. Senators" any more.


BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

The corruption claim was pure propaganda. The process of choosing senators was certainly no more corrupt than the process Congress uses to adopt a budget or pass "healthcare."

Bull shit hyperbole.

The poor got 100% tax cuts on their federal income tax and in many cases no only do not pay federal income tax, quite the contrary they get paid to work. The upper income tax bracket received a significantly smaller tax cut by percentage. However, I can understand if you are a math challenged lib that just doesn't understand percentages. So I'll explain it easier for you.

A rich guy and a poor guy walk into a meat store. The poor guy buys a pound of hamburger that used to be taxed at a buck. Govco reduced the tax on hamburger meat to zero, so the poor guy walks out of the store without paying any taxes. Further at the end of the year the government sends the poor guy a check for the hambuger, so really the poor guy got his meat for free. The rich guy buys a pound of hamburger and a pound of prime aged beef that used to be taxed at 10bucks, but now is taxed at 7bucks. The rich guy paid 7bucks in taxes where before he would have had to pay 11bucks in taxes.

In this scenario the democrats scream holy murder that the rich guy got a bigger tax break. But wait. The rich guy is the only guy paying taxes. Further the rich guy actually got a smaller tax cut by percentage than the poor guy. This of course till the poor guy gets rich and starts buying steak.

I'm not screaming my hypbolic (-: friend. I didn't start the thread. I'd call W a spendthrift on fiscal matters. He was neither liberal nor conservative.
